Cufflink Love
By Greg • Feb 24th, 2003 • Category: TrendsLinks Are In (if you ask me)
Recently I have received a numerous amount of inquiries about Cuff Links. Yes, Cuff Links. The MAIN reason for these inquiries is due to the fact that I wear them very frequently, and that being the case, I have found that some of the more “savvy” dressers I know wear them as well. I am not boasting about being a savvy dresser, although I do take style seriously, I am rather opening up the discussion of tweaking your own personal style with accessories. After all, cuff links are a man’s jewelry, an accessory much like the purse or scarf is to a woman. The Cuff Link accentuates an overall impression and defines style ( again, if you ask me). Now, that being said, what I mean by “tweaking” your overall personal style is adding your own flare. Cuff links generally are worn with a more formal dress code, formalwear or with suits, I wear them with JEANS! Fuck it! in a nutshell, I like french cuff shirts and although I will admit, if I do wear jeans, I do make sure there is a nice pair of shoes and possibly a blazer that goes with the outfit. But, point being, you can take the more formal accessories of the classic times and implement them into your wardrobe today – in the here in now… classic style mixed with modern treads is cool with me.

This site is a perfect resource for people to compare the widest selection of themed, novelty, contemporary or designer cufflinks. We offer same day engraving service – an industry first
Hi
If you want another resource to add to this post I have a blog devoted to cufflinks at Cufflinks Central. It showcases designs from all the big retailers, as well as finding cool unique ones from the small designers out there.
Cuff links can be great engraved with a special date – particularly good gifts to mark weddings and special birthdays.
Being a rather new entrant into the cufflinks industry we offer a pretty broad selection of men’s silver cufflinks as well. Not quite the selection that some of the others offer, but again, we’re new to the market. Outside of the terrific quality and growing selection we also offer free shipping on all order sizes and are running a summer special which includes an additional 5% discount.
I would have to agree with the original post; cufflinks are a great addition to any well-dressed man. I work with a few men that sport the classic look of cufflinks nearly every day. My father is an avid collector of cufflinks as well. They really do add a nice touch to a suit, tux, or other formal occasion.
